Hello all,
Strangely I cannot replicate the problems I'm having in Ubuntu Maverick on Windows Vista. Martin Peach also says that he is able to parse information without any errors on XP. This leads me to believe that the problem doesn't lie with my patch but elsewhere. A bit stumped on this one for sure as I would much rather run this on Ubuntu.
Best, Philip

Yes I'm using 0.42.5 extended on WinXP at the moment. You could try a [dump 1{ message to the [tcpclient] inside [httpget] to get it to print everything, maybe you're getting partial packets or something. Otherwise I would strip the patch down to isolate the problem, i.e. which [unpack] is causing the trouble.

Martin,
I get unpack type errors but can't seem to figure out why they're sometimes happening and sometimes not. I'm using 0.42.5 extended. Is there perhaps a newer version of objects that you might be using? Hm, I'm stumped.
Philip PS - Thanks for writing so many awesome externals!

No errors at all unless I click really fast and get:
error: tcpclient_connect: already connected to weather.elec.york.ac.uk:80 on socket 1848

Martin,
Are you getting any errors at all? I get an error ever few attempts to retrieve the data. Hmm. I will also look into these new http objects.

It works fine for me. I recently added [httpreq] and [httpreceive] to the mrpeach stuff in svn, they make it easier to do http stuff. [httpreceive] outputs the status on a separate outlet so you could scan for the "expires" keyword to know when to make another request.

Hello all,
I was working on a patch that visualises and sonifies weather data posted online in an HTML document. I was using [httpget] to grab the document and using [listsplit] and [symbol2list] to parse the necessary data. However, using this method, I will often get the error "error: unpack: type mismatch". I was wondering if someone could look at the patch and advise me of a cleaner way of doing this or showing me what I might be doing wrong? It works 70% the time. Initially, I was just increasing the frequency of the [httpget] to ensure that the data changes are captured but this method isn't very clean and would appreciate any corrections or feedback.
Patch: http://uiu.me/6.pd This Weather: http://vimeo.com/16472933 [httpget]: http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/SimpleWebclient

Compare the format of a weather.txt that you've downloaded on Windows vs a weather.txt that you've downloaded on Ubuntu. What's the difference ?
But if the problem only happens sometimes, it may difficult to track down, and perhaps it isn't even a Windows vs Ubuntu problem.
